Questions
Asked before we start.
Do I need a local company?
Yes. Registrations in Saudi Arabia and the UAE are held by a local importer, distributor or partner. We prepare everything and coordinate with them.
Do I need halal certification?
Only if you make a halal claim, or for certain markets and retailers. We can build the product halal-ready from the start.
How long does registration take?
Around two to six weeks per country once documents are ready, longer if the authority raises questions.
